"No Soap, Radio!"

There's a traditional prank joke that always ends with the punchline "No Soap, Radio!"

While someone else is listening, you tell a totally nonsensical joke to a friend, who pretends to laugh hilariously at the punchline. The "joke" is to see if the third party will laugh, pretending to get the joke.

One example is:

Two polar bears are sitting in a bathtub. The first one says, "Pass the soap". The second one says, "No soap, radio!"

When I explained the joke to my 8 year-old, he laughed hysterically. I'm not sure why, but he immediately "got" the anti-humor, and began making up a wide variety of additional jokes, all ending with "No Soap, Radio!"

A penguin and a tiger were sitting on an iceberg, listening to a radio. The tiger said, "Boy, it sure is cold out here." The penguin said, "No soap, radio!"

A boy was late to school. His teacher asked why he was late. He said, "No soap, radio!"

Each of these would end with him collapsing in laughter. After a while, the anti-punchline actually became a real punchline.

Your challenge: try to outdo him with a joke of your own. Must end with a mention of soap and a radio.

"So the other day I tried to kill myself. I was washing with soap, when I dropped the radio into the bath-tub. Good times!"

Am I doing this right?

Two nuns are in the bath. One says to the other "Where's the soap?" The other says "No soap, radio"

I'm reporting you, Mr Hargrave, to child welfare for cruelty to children and humor.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?



A: To get the hell away from the No soap, radio jokes.

Did you hear about the new station that only plays Barbara Streisand and Michael Jackson songs, DJ'd by Joan Rivers?

Nose Hope Radio.

I taught my son a similar non-joke. Now he ends everything with "The Aristocrats!"

His teachers aren't too happy with me.
